Reflections on Psalm 23 for People with Cancer Ken Curtis explores coping with advanced cancer from personal experience based on the inspiration of the 23rd Psalm. Psalm 23 is one of the best-known and loved passages in the Bible. Its words of comfort and encouragement have been a support to many in difficult times. The clear and powerful sense of God’s protective love comes forth so beautifully in this psalm. It is for this reason that so many people relate to it immediately when facing major personal challenges. At times of great fear and uncertainty, and cancer is one of the greatest, the simple yet powerful words of Psalm 23 can sustain us like few others can. Ken Curtis, founder and president of Vision Video and Christian History Institute, was diagnosed with advanced cancer and given little hope for sur- vival. He pursued a combination of traditional and alternative medicine, undergirded by a strong spiritual dimension and prayer support team.

Cottolengo NEW! The amazing and inspiring life of St. Joseph Benedict Cottolengo (1786 –1842) is beautifully depicted in this full-length feature film. Joseph was the firstborn of twelve children. Struggles with his own health and schooling made him an unlikely candidate to become one who would bring relief and healing to thousands. He founded the Little House of Divine Providence in 1832, caring for orphans, the sick, the poor, and the needy. His work continues to this day and is said to serve over 8,000 people daily. In this dramatic video biography, we get inside the man, his motives, his struggles and willingness to sacrifice, his faith, and his heart of love for those in need. Viewers are inspired by an experience of a saint whose holiness elic- its our respect, yet whose simplicity and compassion draw us close to his humanity and concern for those in need. This film can be viewed in its original Italian with or without English subtitles, or dubbed in English, French or Spanish. 115 minutes. DRAMA DVD - #501122D, $19.99

It reveals the amazing details and events in Padre Pio’s life as a boy and throughout his 50 years as a monk. It dramatizes the frequent attacks of the Devil and the persecution he suffered at the hands of people, including some in the Church. The many miracles that he performed are highlighted, as well as his deep humility, charity and sense of humor. Starring Italian actor Sergio Castellitto and directed by Carlo Carlei, this is an outstand- ing film on the amazing life of this great saint.

Captured by the enemy as a soldier and put in prison, Francis had a life-changing experience that inspired him after being freed to abandon his riches and dedicate his life to living the Gospel in simplicity, poverty and charity towards all. He inspired his close friend Clare to imitate his radical lifestyle, and soon many others came to join his new religious community, one that has had an incredible impact on the world ever since.

Jacob’s Ladder Introduce youth to Bible stories they will remember for life Here is a series developed for youth, ages 10-15, that will bring the Old Testament alive. The clever storyline surrounds a group of young teenagers, “the teenpack,” who come across an old lighthouse. A mysterious character called Rafael, the light- house keeper, is able to transport members of the teenpack back in time. There, they become involved in the Biblical characters’ lives and stories as we see them unfold. This approach faithfully retells the Bible stories while presenting them in a fascinating way for today’s youth. Though geared for youth, these stories provide inspiring, character- building lessons which are appropriate for people of all ages. Each episode is 30 minutes, with two or three episodes per DVD. DVDs include “Behind the Scenes” segments and PDF study materials. SG DRAMA DVD - #500882D Episode 1: Gideon, Reluctant Hero — God calls young Gideon to stand up to oppressors and their false gods. This story will chal- lenge you to lay aside your idols and worship the one true God. Episode 2: Gideon, Warrior by Faith — An angel has told Gideon he will free God’s people from the Midianites. Watch as God gives Gideon just what he needs to strengthen his faith. DVD - #500883D Episode 3: Naomi and Ruth — When a severe drought brings famine to Canaan, Elimelech and his wife, Naomi, leave all that they know and venture to Moab where new hardships await. Episode 4: Ruth and Boaz — Naomi and her daughter-in-law, Ruth, arrive back in Canaan to face a harsh reality. With no home and no money, these two widows need a plan for survival. Hard work, the law of the Lord, and a steadfast faith will all play a part in their success. DVD - #500909D Episode 5: The Invitation — Hannah has promised to give her son to God. Now that Samuel knows of his amazing birth, he must choose whether to accept God’s plan for his life. Episode 6: Samuel’s Destiny, Part 1 — As the priest Eli’s righthand man, 13-year old Samuel works hard in the temple. Meanwhile, Eli’s two sons sink deeper into a life of sin. Episode 7: Samuel’s Destiny, Part 2 — As he begins to hear from God, Samuel transitions into the role of prophet. In the meantime, the Israelites are marching into battle with the Ark of the Covenant, but without the Lord of Lords. What will it take to convince them to put their faith in God? DVD - #500911D Episode 8: A King for the Hebrews — Samuel is getting old, and the elders ask him to appoint a Hebrew King. Samuel takes the matter to God who tells him that Saul is to be anointed king. Episode 9: Saul Takes Charge — When he hears of a Midianite attack, Saul assembles an army and defeats the enemy. The people gladly crown him king. But when the Hebrews are attacked again, Saul has his two son’s killed for disobeying his command. Has he gone mad? DVD - #500912D Episode 10: The King Needs Help — King Saul has serious bouts of depression and David, a shep- herd boy, is invited to come and play his lute for the king. Unbeknown to the king, David has been anointed by Samuel to be the next king of the Hebrews. When David fights Goliath and is victori- ous, King Saul is jealous of the young champion. In a moment of madness, he might just kill him. Episode 11: Death Waiting — Ten years have passed since David defeated Goliath, and David is now an officer in Saul’s army. Saul feels threatened by David’s popularity and is determined to kill him. DVD - #500913D Episode 12: David on the Run — King Saul is out to kill his most successful and loyal soldier, David. While David finds refuge through the people of God, Saul shows no respect for God or his people. See the results of their decisions as this tale unfolds. Episode 13: A New King — In King Saul’s darkest hour, he finally attempts to call on God as he once did, but God is silent. Where will Saul turn now? Can he sink any lower in his defiance of God? The story of David comes to a thrilling conclusion as he continues to walk in covenant with the Lord, the same covenant that was begun so many years before when Jacob saw a ladder to heaven.

Christianity and Islam Here is a subject where we dare not remain uninformed. Today, there are approxi- mately seven million Muslims and more than 13,000 mosques in North America. Now that Muslims are our neighbors, how do we talk to them about Christ? Which beliefs do we share in common with Muslims and where do we differ from them? Is the Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad? Noted theologian Dr. Timothy George teams with award-winning producer-director T. N. Mohan to answer these and other basic questions in this visually rich four-part collection. The series avoids the angry condemnation of all Muslims on the one hand, and compromising Christian truth- claims on the other. Muslim views are stated fairly and objectively by Muslim scholars who appear in the series. The programs set forth basic and foundational dif- ferences between Christianity and Islam and the implications for how we understand God, Christ, and the meaning of salvation. Includes a study guide. SG DOC DVD - #4798D, $39.99 NOW! $29.99 VHS - #4810, $39.99 NOW! $14.99

Winner of the PLATINUM AWARD from Worldfest-Houston. Here is an understandable overview of the great drama of the unfolding of Christianity. Presenter for the award-winning six-part series is Dr. Timothy George, historian and Dean of Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School. The approach is interdenomina- tional in spirit and content, respecting the unique and varied roles of Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant traditions. Six 30-minute parts: PART I: The Early Church — Follow the Early Church as she emerges from the womb of Judaism to survive persecution and become established in the Roman world. PART II: The Church in the Middle Ages — During this period, universities, , and museums were established. The Church also joined in influencing society, but with difficulty. PART III: The Reformation Era — The Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century was a call for spir- itual and ecclesial renewal. How did the Roman Catholic Church respond? PART IV: The Age of Reason and Piety — The Christian world experienced a major shift from an “age of faith” to an “age of reason.” PART V: Christianity in the New World — America was the land of new beginnings. This period includes the study of great traditions such as the Puritans and Quakers. PART VI: Christian Movement in an Age of Uncertainty — From the fall of Bastille in 1789 to the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, study the Christian movement in an age of uncertainty.
